Photo Emerges Showing Chairman Wontumi Bedridden

In a shocking turn of events, a photo of Benard Antwi Boasiako bedridden has surfaced on social media.

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is expected to face the Kumasi Traditional Council on Monday, January 29, 2024.

He was summoned after claims of insubordination towards the Ashanti King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP was expected to have joined some party executives when they went to Mahyia to plead on his behalf but he could not make it over claims that he is under the weather.

The Chiefs warned that he should appear before them on January 29, 2024, regardless of his situation.

Prior to the picture, Wontumi was heard in an audio file defending himself over claims of insulting the Otumfuo.

He explained that he in no way disrespected Otumfuo Osei Tutu II indicating that some people who do not wish him well are behind the actions of the Chiefs of Ashanti adding that he will work at ensuring he is vindicated.

 

 

 

Members of the Kumasi Traditional Council on Monday directed the NPP, led by its General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, to produce Chairman Wontumi to appear before them over alleged derogatory remarks made against the Asantehene.

This follows an altercation between Mr. Antwi Boasiako and the Kokosohene, Nana Kwaku Dua, at the recent vetting of parliamentary aspirants in the Ashanti region.

Though Chairman Wontumi has denied making any such remarks, he was invited by the Traditional Council for a hearing, an invitation he failed to honour on health grounds.

Subsequently, the NPP national leadership, which appeared before the Council to plead for more time, was directed to ensure Chairman Wontumi made an appearance within one week.

 

 

 

However, reports from some news portals have alleged a directive from the Asantehene for the Kumasi Traditional Council to discontinue hearing the case of Chairman Wontumi.

JoyNews sources at the Manhyia Palace have dismissed media reports suggesting the withdrawal of summons for the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, to appear before the Kumasi Traditional Council.
